Long Glucose Tolerance Test

My glucose levels with DD were in the normal range. This pregnancy I have had a lot of issues with low blood pressure and it seems, problems with blood sugar as well. My level was 8.1 (so not far out of the normal range) when I had the short GTT. Yesterday when I had the long GTT I felt extremely sick before I had even finished the drink, sweaty, dizzy and eventually threw up the lot. I had a very similar thing happen last week but I hadn't just eaten (it had been about 30mins since breakfast) and I didn't actually vomit that time but was very close to passing out.

Now I have to do the long GTT again but I'm fairly certain the same thing will happen. The nurse even told me it will probably happen again. Does this mean I have GD? What do I do if it does happen again? The nurse said she will only want me to attempt it once more.

I followed the clinic instructions closely with the 3 day carb diet beforehand and fasting etc.

My hospital jumps straight to the long glucose test now - even if your low risk. Ive felt like this every time ive done it - dizzy, sick, sweating etc. and ive never had GD. Ive got mine next week. - I just wish there was another way to test for it!

In spite of being in an almost constant state of motion while looking after the kids and trying to keep things together at home, it can seem as though parents have managed to get nothing on the to-do list done by the end of the day.

A French court may have ruled out Nutella as a baby name, but that doesn't have to stop you from taking inspiration from the supermarket (or bottle shop). See what parents in the US have chosen for their delicious little ones.
